The Progress-driven Collective of Airengard is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Guide Airen Slipper with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.879 billion Airengardin enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argentia. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Airengardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,465 trillion argens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,676 argens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, the media seems excessively interested in what High Guide Airen Slipper is wearing this season, the government pours millions of argens into rehabilitation programs annually, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airengard's national animal is the pacifican phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Concordia Hominum.

Airengard is ranked 286,442^nd in the world and 3,135^th in the Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
